Federal Aviation Administration Agile Acquisition Principles and Practices

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operates in a challenging environment to provide the safest and most cost-effective air traffic management (ATM) system in the world. To address the challenge, the FAA acquires and operates a wide variety of information technology (IT) systems, from internal administrative systems, similar to commercial businesses, to unique safety-critical air traffic control systems. Too often the development and implementation of these systems has involved cost and/or schedule overruns that detract from the anticipated operational value, or involve times to acquire or develop that are not sufficiently responsive to the needs of a changing environment.
